<p dir="ltr">We are requesting proposals for workshops and
tutorials from the international community of computational
neuroscientists. Proposals from all levels of faculty as well as
advanced postdoctoral fellows are welcome. This is a great
opportunity to organize a small meeting or introduce novel
methodology with just a few of the headaches of actually
organizing it. We are looking forward to your submissions.</p>

<p dir="ltr">1. WORKSHOP PROPOSAL SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS FOR CNS
2020, MELBOURNE</p>
<p dir="ltr">Workshops, in which computationally related
neuroscience topics can be presented, will take place during the
last two days (<strong>July 21 and July 22, 2020</strong>) of
the <a
href="http://clicks.memberclicks-mail.net/wf/click?upn=l2WnPG7xcNg4BaXop0h67T8NXQVXs5R19xXm8uLPXIejgkbMWnmqvHwxgeDqf8Qt_ne0sPI1vlgZyEaH7E9DZmepLP7Mb24YhGBhyxOCi5g91sFEhJeMN5LjHyU-2FgdKD92mSuLd8nmvo6quv12StnKRmdIzFtWKUn96TNwfuBA-2Bp481-2B1qrX2rCok6GOL0km8Q9-2FgPodnMpNy4to9rXA6tfc-2BdfSp80mIdoLkAHyf540qpv7-2F8lRmGLo48QHQK76Sf9iTpHoA-2Fib-2FMASLpUDgK-2B-2Fvfaf7Aof-2B4mrYQmRl0mXpMRVsRPWuvIOHXR51E9xYCVhecUc-2B6jBo2wy936xr-2BFTN9fPeaozcMSW8Oa1OWwon9Cdhvn2ZYu8LH8dbKEf0-2BtE-2BPEsXDPG5PSD-2FJUJ8CEKHRDl5yGooFoU59q2fXiU-3D">29th
Annual Computational Neuroscience Meeting</a>. For each
workshop, usually, several speakers are invited to introduce a
unifying theme, but ample time for discussion should also be
planned.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Please note that there is a change in the
format of the meeting compared to previous years.</strong> The
main meeting will conclude on July 21, with a keynote lecture
and a poster session taking place in the afternoon. The morning
of July 21 is reserved for workshops. A goal of this "mixed day"
of the meeting is to facilitate an overlap of attendance.
Participants who have registered for either the main meeting or
the workshops will be allowed to attend all of the events on
July 21 (workshops, keynote, poster session). The last day of
the meeting, July 22, is reserved for workshops, as in the
previous years (workshop registration will be required to
attend).</p>
<p dir="ltr">Accordingly, the possible duration of a workshop is
anywhere from 0.5 days (one session lasting 3.5 hours) to 1.5
days (three half-day sessions). Half-day workshops will be
preferentially scheduled for July 21. They will thus offer the
opportunity to attract a wider audience still present for the
main meeting.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Submit workshop proposals to <strong>workshops AT
cnsorg.org</strong>. The <a
